Least surprising news of the draft lol
I would be absolutely stunned if we passed on Khaman to the point I won’t be surprised as we get really close to the draft that we’re looking for a way to move up a few spots (especially with WAS) to pick him and they still get Queen and we add another minimal asset to ensure we “get our guy”.
Failing that obv based on reports we’re focused on adding a young C which only further confirms the words out of Masai’s on mouth at his last presser. So yeah I could still see us taking Queen but I genuinely believe Bryant will be an internal debate for our pick because yes we’re missing an “OG” type of player and I understand he’s not quite as big but he’d also likely get played at SG so he’ll be big for the position and still fully capable of playing SF as well as we certainly need a security blanket for BI’s health.
Plus players like him, OG, Neismith, Dort, Daniels etc….great defensive wings just are tremendously valuable that they are almost guaranteed to help you win and worst case are VERY valuable trade chips down the line even if he doesn’t add anymore to his game than what he has as a 19 year old which is obv ridiculous and those who can’t see he’s well ahead of OG at the same age offensively are blind or just want to hate because they like another prospect more. Carter is way ahead of him in understanding when to cut or go back door, literally all OG could do is camp out in the corners like PJ Tucker, Bryant already hits shots from multiple areas of the court that OG did not and while Bryant needs to improve his handle, OG literally dribbled the ball like an elementary school aged kid with just his right hand directly in front of his body, Carter can use both hands but again just needs to tighten it up and add more refinement.
Obv I could be wrong but I honestly think if Khaman is on the board, he’s the pick (period). If not, I’ll say Queen like 55%, Bryant 35% and Essengue 10% (who I don’t even like but I just think those are the guys I see the FO liking). Personally I’m starting to hope for drafting Bryant and trading Ochai or Gradey to draft Yang as the best possible outcome imo.
